i admittedly have only read the wikipedia summary to refresh my memory but it doesn't mention any proof that it wasn't CP, and frames that as a claim by Pitchford himself who also claimed that the reason he had the porn was to study their porn tricks for his stage magic so im not exactly inclined to believe anything he claims about it.
I don't feel like going through the legal documents on this, but one of the sources cited on the Wikipedia summary seems to imply the plaintiff also admitted that he was exonerated there? I can't see any information on if the case was dropped before of after E-Discovery, because if it was after, the images would've certainly been investigated.
Yeah, I did a little googling but didn’t come up with much more than you did. My guess is that the claims of misunderstanding were part of whatever agreements they reached to drop the case. If it was something like loli hentai he could probably still worm his way out of criminal charges even post discovery.
